Blending ‘top-tier legal expertise with boutique-style client care’, Linklaters has developed a strong reputation among stakeholders across the full range of upstream and downstream real estate projects. Combining impressive substantive property law knowledge with a transactional mindset, team head Anton Cox provides ’clear, actionable solutions’ to clients on downstream real estate matters and takes the lead on many of the share deals handled by the team for Luxembourg property assets. On the upstream front, the team also leverages the firm’s investment fund prowess to good effect, particularly on cross-border deals utilising Luxembourg as a hub. The practice also leans into the firm’s strong banking and capital markets offering, with Patrick Geortay and Melinda Perera both regularly involved for borrowers and lenders in new money and refinancing as well as restructuring deals.
